Here is Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus details the resurrection of life and damnation.
JLB

However, you have not explained in which verses these are located. You highlighted with different colours in #276 and expected us to get your meaning. I encourage you to engage in discussion of the points you want to make by using narrative rather than copy and paste.
 
2 Peter 3:1-4
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

By the words of the prophets, by the words of the apostles, and by the words spoken by Jesus himself, they all told you what the promise of his coming was, but the scoffers and the unbelievers do not accept the coming of the Holy Spirit as the promise, for they look to worship the image of a man. And since they look for the coming of a man that they might worship, and since they do not accept the Holy Spirit as the promised coming, all things continue as they were since the beginning of creation.

2 Peter 3:5-7
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Still in context with the promise of his coming, Peter says for this they are willingly ignorant, in other words they choose to believe what they want to believe in spite of the obvious. The earth that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. This I would say described the Flood of Noah and the Judgement of the World at that time. The earth standing in the water and out of the water is symbolic of being under judgement mixed with Grace and Mercy. But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgement, reserved for the second death and the lake of fire. Why, because they would not accept through Faith the Spirit of the Christ in them, for they sought after the image of another.

2 Peter 3:8-9
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Maybe you do not know where to look to find the promise of His coming, I would gladly tell you. But brethren, as Peter has warned you, there is a day of reckoning approaching, a day of reconciliation, a day reserved unto fire, so do not be ignorant of this on this one thing, that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Be not ignorant, for one day plus one day equals two days, and two days with the Lord is two thousand years.
 
Hosea 6:1-3
Come, and let us return unto the Lord:
for he hath torn, and he will heal us;
he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
After two days will he revive us:
in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight.

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord:
his going forth is prepared as the morning;
and he shall come unto us as the rain,
as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

It is after you are raised up that you shall know whether you follow on to know the Lord. Have you been raised to the resurrection of life in Christ? Or have you been raised to the resurrection of judgement? Have you even sought ought to know the Lord? Or do you seek out the knowledge of sin more than the knowledge of Christ?

And once again we see the promise of his coming, the promise that he would send forth the Holy Spirit who would come in His name, and that he shall come as the latter rain. What is it that you should be looking for in the latter rain?


Deuteronomy 32:1-3
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak;
and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
My doctrine shall drop as the rain,
my speech shall distil as the dew,
as the small rain upon the tender herb,
and as the showers upon the grass:
Because I will publish the name of the Lord:
ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
 
Matthew 12:34-40
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things:and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.


Not only did He spend three days int he tomb, but He shall spend three days and night in the heart of the earth, and in the hearts of men. But an evil generation seeks after a sign, and the sign the seek is some form of judgement from the Lord upon the ungodly. But his Judgement falls first upon those who are called after his name, but they do not look to their own house, they still look to the world for signs. But the only sign that is given is the sign of Jonah the prophet, the sign of the resurrection in Christ.

The day is now over and we have been called forth into the resurrection of Christ. But what manner of resurrection have you been called forth to? Have you been called forth into the resurrection of life in Christ, or have you been called forth to the resurrection of judgement?

John 5:24-29
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God:and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this:for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.


The resurrection of damnation is the resurrection of judgement, and if it is the judgement of God the you look for as a sign, or if you feel that you have to define for yourself what is a sin; then which resurrection path do you think you are on?

from post #16

Chopper's characterization of Jonah made me realize something. Why was Jonah in the belly of the whale in the first place. Was it not because he refused to go and declare the Lord's mercy and grace if they would turn from their evil ways. Jonah in his mind thought that Nineveh should have been destroyed. He wanted to see God's Judgement, and so he spent three days in the belly of the whale, and as you said Chopper, the Grace of God worked upon Jonah while he was belly of the beast until he was ready to be cast forth to go proclaim the salvation of the Lord. The three days in the belly of the beast was the work of the Lord transforming him from a child of wrath into a child of Grace to go forth and proclaim his salvation.

As in the Resurrection of Christ, Jonah first died as a prophet of wrath to rise again a prophet of salvation. I contrast this to another thought. I am reminded of a story in the gospels where Jesus and the disciples were rejected coming into a certain city. The disciples asked Jesus if they should call down fire from heaven as Elijah did. Jesus rebuked them in saying "know you not what Spirit you are of?

Elijah was a prophet of wrath and called down fire from heaven in judgement. But Jesus cautioned they we are not of that spirit. The sign of Jonah represents our transformation in the Resurrection of Christ from the spirit of Elijah and the wrath of God to the Spirit of Christ and the salvation of the Lord. We die to the law and the old covenant that speaks of wrath and death, to awaken under the new covenant with the confidence in the Grace of the Lord and the salvation through the resurrection of Christ to live by His Spirit as his image is created within us.

The sign of Jonah presents the two sides to the Resurrection of Christ (John 5:29). The Spirit of Elijah and the Spirit of Christ. If we are preaching a message of sin, and wrath and Judgement, then we are of the Spirit of Elijah. But if we can live displaying the grace and mercy of the Lord toward others, and to proclaim his salvation and the gospel of his kingdom, then are we of the Spirit of Christ.

Exodus 19:3-9
And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles 'wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord. And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.

What is it that Christians tell you all the time about the rapture, that you should make yourself ready because the Lord could come at any moment? Isn't that what is said concerning the rapture? But what I would question is what exactly must you do to make yourself ready? If you know the Lord, then you would know that Christ has already made us ready in Himself, and that He has already brought us into His Kingdom. So why does the preparation Christians talk about when they say they have to make themselves ready for the rapture sound more like they are following Moses instead of Christ?

Exodus 19:10-15
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.

Shadows and types. After two days he shall revive us, and on the third day he shall raise us up; then shall we know if we shall follow on to know the Lord (Hosea 6:1-3).

Pay attention to the trumpet, for when it sounded long, then they were commanded to come up the mount, but until the trumpet sounded long, they were NOT to touch the mount or they would surely die. If you follow on to know the story, then you know the children of Israel feared for the commandment unto death, and that their fear prevented them from coming up the mount where they would have gone on to know the Lord when the trumpet sounded. Does your fear of sin keep you from climbing the mount?
 
Exodus 19:16-18
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.


If there ever was an image of the lake of fire to draw from, surely this would be it.


Just for comparison sake, but I must draw attention to the smoke of a furnace.

Rev 9:2
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Rev 14:11
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

.
 
Exodus 19:10-15
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.


Moses was to sanctify them for two days, and let them wash their clothes. It is interest again that they should wash their clothes.
The process of sanctification and the washing of the clothes sounds like the process of repentance and baptism. Repentance and Baptism, the message of the church for two days now, as a day is with the Lord.

But we are already sanctified by the offering of Christ, and we have been washed by His blood; He gives unto us a new garment and He has already called us to His Kingdom. If you wait for the sound of the trumpet, then you have waited too long to act upon your Faith.
 
But we are already sanctified by the offering of Christ, and we have been washed by His blood; He gives unto us a new garment and He has already called us to His Kingdom. If you wait for the sound of the trumpet, then you have waited too long to act upon your Faith.
Read every word, liked it a lot.

Does that mean we are sinless? If we are 'already sanctified', are you suggesting that there is no progressive sanctification in the Christian life?

What exactly do you mean by "progressive sanctification? I have not heard that phrase before.

When I hear you use the word "progressive sanctification" I must assume that you are talking about the believer, and not Christ. And as it was in Exodus as Moses did the sanctifying, so to is it Christ who does the sanctifying. Now when I look at the sanctifying work of Christ on the cross and all of promises that we can realize because of it, there is nothing progressive about it as Jesus himself said: It is finished.

The word sanctify in the dictionary means to set apart or declare Holy, so when you use the word "progressive" are you implying that the work of Christ has not yet set us apart and that he has not sanctified us yet?

To me the only thing progressive about our sanctification is the progressive growth in our own understanding and Faith in the standing that we have obtained through the sanctification and resurrection of Christ as we are created in his image.

Can you please elaborate more the what you are implying by the phrase "progressive sanctification?"
 
Does that mean we are sinless?


What does it mean to be sinless?
That you live perfectly and apart from all manner of sin?
Did the work of Christ on the cross make it so that you could live with committing any sin?
There are some who think the Spirit of God somehow give them the power and ability to obey the law so that they do not commit sin?

Jesus came that he might free us from bondage, from the bondage of sin that came by knowledge of the law (Romans 3:20), for the power if sin is death, and the strength of sin is the law (1 Cor 15:56).

Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Jesus came that He might destroy the power of sin and death, for Christ has become death for us. Through his death and resurrection, we have become baptized into his death, so being dead to the law we have been freed from sin.

Romans 6:5-9
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.


1 Peter 3:21-22
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

All power and authority has been made subject unto Him. And unto Him he has made me subject under the covenant of His Grace, he has made me free from the bonds of the covenant of Law. And where there is no law, then there is no sin imputed.

By the Grace of God and by the Faith of Christ given to me, the sin of my flesh does not rule me, nor am I consumed worrying about sin. I understand what Christ has provided for me, and in my Faith I have the answer of good conscience toward God. And in that good conscience, though I would stumble and fall, from time to time and frankly quite often, I never doubted the Grace that the Lord has given to me. And through that Grace the Lord has shown me that the sins of the flesh serve only to blind us from the one sin that we each must answer for, and that is the sin of Adam's transgression (Romans 5:14).

'Progressive sanctification' is a well-known doctrine in evangelical Christianity and I assumed you would know that. Please forgive me for that wrong assumption.

For example, in Wayne Grudem's text, Bible Doctrine (Inter-Varsity UK/Zondervan 1999) he provides this definition: 'Sanctification is a progressive work of God and man that makes us more and more free from sin and like Christ in our actual lives' (Grudem 1999:326).

There are 3 stages to sanctification (Grudem 1999:326-329):
  1. It had a definite beginning at regeneration when we were born again. That's when the moral change began. A verse that exemplifies this is 1 Cor 6:11 (ESV): 'You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God' (emphasis added).
  2. Sanctification increases or progresses throughout our lives. Yes, there was a definite beginning of sanctification at conversion, but it is a process that continues throughout our lives - thus it is progressive sanctification. As people grow up in Christ, we see this progressive dimension: 'Just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification' (Rom 6:19 ESV).
  3. Our sanctification will not be complete until death or when the Lord returns. Verses such as Rom 6:12-13 (ESV) and 1 John 1:8 (ESV) confirm that there is still sin in our hearts even though we are believers. But we will get to the point where 'nothing unclean will enter' God's presence (Rev 21:27 ESV). We are waiting for the coming of Jesus from heaven and he 'will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body' (Phil 3:21 ESV).
This is Grudem's diagram of progressive sanctification:

This one is taken from his Systematic Theology (Grudem 1994, Zondervan), but it is in my edition of Grudem (1999:329):


So, progressive sanctification is what Christians experience as they grow more to be like Jesus in this life after they have been born again.

When Jesus said, 'It is finished', on the cross, he was talking about his substitutionary sacrifice was finished and NOT that our sanctification was finished, as the above verses demonstrate.

Thank you for that explanation. I was not familiar with the term, though I think I grasped its concept readily. I do not have any background in theology, nor have I studied Christian orthodoxy, meaning I couldn't tell you what a Baptist believes compared to a Protestant or an AOG. It was never something I was into. I am simply a student of the Word, sharing what rests upon my heart. I do not know the fancy words and phrases the learned people like to use, but I understand the simplicity found in Christ.

In the chart you posted there is a flaw, for it does not reflect the resurrection to life and the resurrection to judgement on the same course. And, I would point out the those in the Christian life who have been raised to the resurrection of Life in Christ pass from life to life, but those who have come forth to the resurrection of judgement live as though they were still slaves to sin, slaves to the knowledge of the Law; and because they loved the knowledge of unrighteousness more than they did the knowledge of Christ, they shall find what awaits is the second death.

Do you await the sound of the trumpet to announce his return?

Jesus said he comes as a thief. Does a thief sound the alarm to let you know he has broke into your house?
 
Moses was to sanctify them for two days, and let them wash their clothes. It is interest again that they should wash their clothes.
The process of sanctification and the washing of the clothes sounds like the process of repentance and baptism. Repentance and Baptism, the message of the church for two days now, as a day is with the Lord.


Hebrews 6:1-3
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit.

This we will do if God permit, to leave behind the principles of the doctrine of Christ, that we might go on unto perfection. For all of these things are works of the law, and the law works toward judgement; But it is Grace that leads us on toward perfection in Christ.

The resurrection to life and the resurrection to judgement happens at Christ's second coming at the Final Judgement. You can read about it in Matt 24:31-46 (ESV).

There's no flaw in the chart I provided but it is in your understanding of the Final Judgement.
